HTML tags
You can use some HTML tags too. However, you should avoid HTML in favor of Wiki markup whenever possible.
What it looks like | What you type |
---|---|
Put text in a typewriter
font. The same font is
generally used for |
Put text in a <tt>typewriter font</tt>. The same font is generally used for <code> computer code</code>. |
|
<strike>Strike out</strike> or <u>underline</u> text, or write it <span style= "font-variant:small-caps"> in small caps</span>. |

<blockquote> The '''blockquote''' command will indent both margins when needed instead of the left margin only as the colon does. </blockquote> |

Organizing your writing
What it looks like | What you type |
---|---|
Section headings
Headings organize your writing into sections. The Wiki software can automatically generate a table of contents from them. Subsection
Using more equals signs creates a subsection. A smaller subsection
Don't skip levels, like from two to four equals signs. Start with 2 equals signs not 1 because 1 creates H1 tags which should be reserved for page title. |

marks the end of the list.
|
* ''Unordered lists'' are easy to do: ** Start every line with a star. *** More stars indicate a deeper level. *: Previous item continues. ** A newline * in a list marks the end of the list. * Of course you can start again. |
A newline marks the end of the list.
|
# ''Numbered lists'' are: ## Very organized ## Easy to follow A newline marks the end of the list. # New numbering starts with 1. |
Here's a definition list:
Begin with a semicolon. One item per line; a newline can appear before the colon, but using a space before the colon improves parsing. |
Here's a ''definition list'': ; Word : Definition of the word ; A longer phrase needing definition : Phrase defined ; A word : Which has a definition : Also a second one : And even a third Begin with a semicolon. One item per line; a newline can appear before the colon, but using a space before the colon improves parsing. |
|
* You can even do mixed lists *# and nest them *# inside each other *#* or break lines<br>in lists. *#; definition lists *#: can be *#:; nested : too |
A newline starts a new paragraph.
|
: A colon (:) indents a line or paragraph. A newline starts a new paragraph. <br> Often used for discussion on talk pages. : We use 1 colon to indent once. :: We use 2 colons to indent twice. ::: 3 colons to indent 3 times, and so on. |
You can make horizontal dividing lines (----) to separate text. But you should usually use sections instead, so that they go in the table of contents. |

You can add footnotes to sentences using the ref tag -- this is especially good for citing a source.

Just show what I typed
A few different kinds of formatting will tell the Wiki to display things as you typed them.
What it looks like | What you type |
---|---|
The nowiki tag ignores [[Wiki]] ''markup''. It reformats text by removing newlines and multiple spaces. It still interprets special characters: → |
<nowiki> The nowiki tag ignores [[Wiki]] ''markup''. It reformats text by removing newlines and multiple spaces. It still interprets special characters: → </nowiki> |
The pre tag ignores [[Wiki]] ''markup''. It also doesn't reformat text. It still interprets special characters: → |
<pre> The pre tag ignores [[Wiki]] ''markup''. It also doesn't reformat text. It still interprets special characters: → </pre> |
Leading spaces are another way to preserve formatting. Putting a space at the
beginning of each
line stops the text
from being
reformatted. It still
interprets Wiki
markup and special
characters: →

Images, tables, video, and sounds
After uploading, just enter the filename, highlight it and press the "embedded image"-button of the edit_toolbar.
This will produce the syntax for uploading a file [[Image:filename.png]]
This is a very quick introduction. For more information, see:
- w:en:Wikipedia:Extended image syntax for how to arrange images on the page

---|---|---|---|---|---|
A picture, including alternate text: You can put the image in a frame with a caption: |
A picture, including alternate text: [[Image:Wiki.png|This Wiki's logo]] The image in a frame with a caption: [[Image:Wiki.png|frame|This Wiki's logo]] | ||||
A link to Wikipedia's page for the image: Image:Wiki.png Or a link directly to the image itself: Media:Wiki.png |
A link to Wikipedia's page for the image: [[:Image:Wiki.png]] Or a link directly to the image itself: [[Media:Wiki.png]] | ||||
Use media: links to link directly to sounds or videos |

Mathematical formulas
You can format mathematical formulas with TeX markup.
